CHAPTER XLIII LILA was in Dorothy’s studio the next day, and they were talking over the trouble generally. “And how are you getting along with Captain Farquahar?” asked Dot. Lila made a wry face. “Worse and worse.” She slumped in her chair watching Dorothy put a wash on a drawing. “Dot, what do you think of him? You had lunch with him last night.” Dorothy bent low over her board. “He seems very pleasant.” “It was a queer twist of fate — your having to meet him after all, when you so flatly refused,” commented Lila, Dorothy was silent. “Well,” Lila rose with a yawn, “I’ll be toddling alone. It’s such a nice day, summer has come; you’d better be falling in love.” To her amusement, vivid color flashed in Dorothy’s cheeks. “Why you little fraud,” cried Lila. “I believe you have someone in mina. You’re blushing.” “Don’t be ridiculous,” said Dorothy with asperity, “It’s beastly hot in this room.” Lila winked at her own reflection in the mirror. “Marry him, Dot, whom ever he is,” was her parting shot. Lila’s spirits lifted as she walked briskly down the avenue. The fragrance of summer was in the air and she felt it was good to be alive. She was not even disconcerted when she met Jack Farquahar not far from Sixty-fourth street. They walked together toward her home, and suddenly Lila decided to drop in to see her father. As they stopped on the curb in front of the house, Lila found that Jack had been spying again on her father’s house “Jack, you haven’t the right,” she flashed. “You—.” “As your fiance, I have the right to telephone your own home,” he said ironically. “The only reason I havn’t is because I promised not to . I wish to be released from that promise.” Lila was frantic. She was furious. In her agitation she dropped her hand bag. It fell open and its contents spilled on the sidewalk. Staring up at them was a check .made out to “Bearer” and signed by “Herbert Ware.” ' Jack restored it to Lila’s handbag in silence. “I should advise you not to carry such compromising evidence with you.” “Oh, I was just carrying Mrs. Ware’s check to the bank to be cashed,” she said lightly. Her heart was heavy with fear. “Well, au revoir,” she added, and ran up the steps of her father’s house with a parting wave. Her father met her at the door with a frown on his face. “I happened to be glancing out the window and saw you with that young fellow,” he remarked. Lila this must stop. I won’t have you talked about now that you are married. Get rid of that chap.” "Dad!” said Lila in astonishment. “That young idiot fairly haunts this neighborhood. I’ve half a mind to notify the police,” he said. Lila sank into a chair. Here was anew scarce of anxiety. “Is that a nice way to treat me when I’ve ome to have dinner with you,” she said. “I’m going to tell the chef to prepare my favorite chicken ala king.” She blew him a kiss and left the room. Meanwhile Jack continued his walk - down the avenue and across the park to fifty-ninth street. He had decided to call Lila at once and demand that she marry him that day. He sought a restaurant where he could telephone and lunch. In the doorway he encountered Gilroy Holmes. Jack glanced at his companion. “Mrs. Herbert Ware!” n tt n THE next day Lila kept her appointmentwith Jack for tea. It was a ghastly failure. Lila felt that there was danger in the air. Just as she started to pour the

As Crystal sat on the last seat of the interurban car, huddled small in her misery, a handkerchief dabbing constantly at her streaming eyes, a voice which sounded faintly familiar accosted her. “Miss Hathaway?” Terror-stricken that someone who knew her was witnessing her uncontrolled grief, Crystal hardly dared look at the man beside whom she had taken a seat. But to her great relief it was only "Sandy” Ross, Tony Carver’s aviator friend. To Crystal, striving pathetically to make the grade in Stanton society on a private secretary’s salary, a young man like Sandy Ross did not count at all. She had often wondered what Tony saw in him to admire so extravagantly. “Oh!” she gulped. “Ho do you do, Mr. Ross!” and turned her reddenen eyes toward the car window. “Trouble?” Sandy, not at all nonplussed, asked in his telegraphic style. “No,” Crystal lied, not looking at him. Why did he have to bother her now? Sandy eyed her shrewdly out of those bronze-and-green-freckled eyes a his, b..t did not speak again. Silly girl. . . . He’d sized her up as having no thought for anything but her looks, of which he had a very poor opinion, and for attracting men. Now her eyes were red and her heavy powdered and rouged cheeks were streaked with tears, and she seemed to have forgotten that she had one of those contraptions that girls called “vanities.” Crystal left the car without an-

captain’s tea, Siddons knocked on the door. “Mr. Ware’s secretary is on the phone, madam. Mr. Ware wishes to speak to you,” he announced. Jack flashed a glance at Lila, but she rose and went to the phone. Herbert’s voice was stern. “I want to talk to you, Lila, on a most important matter. I shall be home in twenty minutes.” Lila hung up the receiver meekly. It was that bill from Irene’s, the modiste Lila had spent the money Herbert had given her to pay the bill. Farquahar was standing when; she re-entered the room. “Is this Ware chap accustomed to call you wlier his wife is away?” he asked shortly “He gave me a message for his wife,” Lila lied.

How to Grow Graceful POISE IN EXERCISE ** * ** * ** * v ** * Variety in Sports Is Helpful

This is the last of a series of six articles on “How to Grow Graceful,” written exclusively for NEA Service, and The Times, by Doris Niles, youngest American dancer to head her own ballet organization. BY DORIS NILES For NEA Service Grace is a natural possession of the American girl, due to her love of dancing, sports and activities And in sports she has proved herself in many directions a formidable rival to the opposite sex. To meet all these calls and her social duties, she possesses vital freshness and buoyant energy. In sports, however, as in dancing, there are certain things which, detract most decidedly from grace, and should be avoided. Observation and the study of dancing since I was a little child have impressed me forcibly with this. One of these detracting sources, and a serious one, is too steady a devotion to a single sport employing a single set of muscles. The same objection arises tq confining oneself to a single set of exercises in dancing. To be thoroughly graceful and symmetrically developed, not only one set of muscles, but all should bo called into play. Exercise evenly distributed and not too much of any kind is the only plan to follow. People who are devoted to horseback riding are apt to develop a very ugly walk; those who playtennis exclusively are also lively to become ungraceful walkers, due in part to wearing flat shoes continuously; also, tennis playing to excess brings a certain lankiness of movement. Variety in exercise, instead of a single set of them, plays a big part in both sports and dancing in developing the muscles of the body. To take one kind of sport or exercises one. day and another the next is a far surer way to grow SALLY ELLERS IS FREE Star Gets Release From Contract, With Mack Sennett. HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Nov. 30. Sally Ellers, cinema headliner, has been freed.

other word to Sandy, but she nodded blindly in his direction. Faith and Bob were out driving, so she passed Beulah, the cook, with a tear-choked, unintelligible excuse. Her great need, her imperative need, was for darkness and a chance to weep as stormily as her overwrought heart desired. She flung down upon the bed without undressing. But now that unrestrained, weeping was possible, Crystal found that her misery denial itself any such healing outlet. All her tears, apparently, had been shed in the presence of others —in that horrible interurban train. She clenched her fists in anger at not| being able to weep, for now she would have to face this decision that she had made—face all of the unbearable consequences which that decision would bring in its train. The pain in her filled all the universe. . She had betrayed love. She was not big enough for real love. The biggest thing in the world had come to her and she had fled from it, as if it were loathsome. Why? Why? Why? She could still go back. Pablo loved her enough to take her back without question “Probecita!” How tender, how rich with loving pity his dear voice had been “Poor little thing! Probecita!” Oh, Pablo! But her body lay flat against the bed, not a muscle obeying her heart which commanded her to go back to Pablo. Maybe he wasn’t real after all; maybe there was no Pablo Mend 4 just as there had been no “Pablo Valencio,” (To Be Continued)

Suddenly she realized her danger. “You must go now, Jack.” But Farquahar refused to move. “I see this thing very clearly now. Ware calls to say he is cor/ng to see you in his wife’s absence, and you want to kick me out to make room for him. Not a chance. Here I stay.” Slowly he lit a cigaret and resumed his chair. Lila left the room without apology, and called Dorothy. She was at home. In a second Lila outlined her predicament. “Can you make it, Dot?” Lila begged piteously. “I’ll be there in time,” promised Dorothy cooly. ‘Only pray that the downtown traffic delays Herbert.” (To Be Continued.)

more graceful and to develop with greater symmetry. Professional tennis players proceed along more scientific lines than do amateurs, who, not following the same elaborate course, are less fortunate in the outcome as far as grace goes. I vary my dance steps and dance exercises, never doing the same ones two days in succession. In training the young girls of my ballet, I proceed along that line. Not only does it bring far better results, but fatigue from long hours of rehearrals is reduced to a minimum. In professional dancing, versatility is a prime necessity; therefore practice must be versatile. The long list of national dances to be mastered is certainly formidable, and the interpretative dances are endless. Each brings its set of muscles into play; £ach gives the dance-enthusi-ast some special share of grace to add to her accumulated store of it.

How Bright Is Your Baby?

Bright things first attract baby's attention. The lamp, the fire, the moon, please him. Very early in life he notices bright objects. It is brightness rather than color that please the tiny baby. Before long he notices colors. Have you watched your baby enjoying color? Below you will find a list of questions about baby’s interest in color. If you think the answer is yes, underline Yes; if not, underline No. Then compare your answers with the key. 7. Does baby look at the lamp? Yes No 2. Does the brand new baby like a red object? Yes No 3. Does a bright ribbon on mother’s dress attract him? Yes No 4. Is he pleased with a red rattle? Yes No 5. Is baby more interested in the shape of objects than he is in their.. color? Yes No 6. Does he have to learn to know colors? Yes No 7. After he has learned to distinguish colors, does brightness interest him no longer? Yes No 8. Does baby like a certain dress of mother’s because of its color contrast? Yes No 9. Can baby tell one color from another before he learns their names? Yes No 10 Does the 2-year-old know the names of colors? Yes No

Key to Questions

No. 1. Yes, very shortly after birth (2 or 3 weeks) baby’s eyes are attracted by a light. No. 2. The new-born baby does not distinguish color. No. 3. Yes, when baby is 2 months old he cai' distinguish differences in brightness. No. 4. Yes, baby is interested in the bright colors first. No. 5. No, baby enjoys color more than he does form. No. 6. Yes, if he never saw colors, differences in colors would mean nothing to him. No. 7. No, he still enjoys differences in brightness. No. 8. Yes, color plays an important part in deciding baby’s likes and dislikes. No. 9. Yes, colors please baby, but he is often slow to learn their names. He can throw a blue ball as well as a red one. White mittens are as warm as pink ones. So he doesn’t need to use the names of colors. No. 10. Yes, some 2-year-olds use the names of colors, but we do not expect a child to name colors he is shown until he is 5 years old. We will talk about baby and his picture-book. (Copyright, 1928, Science Service. Inc.) RATS’ NEST IN PAVING Rodents Tunnel in Concrete to Build Home. By United Press SWAMPSCOTT, Mass., Nov. 30. A newspaper found in a rat nest under the pavement here recently indicates that the home was tunnelled by the rodents more than a year ago. Workmen who investigated a rut in the pavement found a 75-foot tunnel leading to the nest. It was a break in this passage which caused the pavement to give way. Two grown rats and a brood of eight were removed from the strange home.

One day, when Lou Henry was living at Monterey, Calif., Professor Branner of Stanford delivered a lecture there on “The Bones of the Earth." What the professor said aroused Lou Henry’s imagination. The result was that she decided to go to Stanford and become a geologist. The family debated the move, and finally it was decided she could go. • ik
